Long distance barrage pushes MU past DePaul, 83-58

MILWAUKEE – Marquette used a first half barrage from long distance on its way to an 83-58 victory over DePaul on Saturday afternoon at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

The Golden Eagles (12-5, 3-2 BIG EAST) hit 12 shots from 3-point range in the first half of action and redshirt junior guard Andrew Rowsey posted a season-best 24 points in the win. Rowsey hit 5-of-6 shots from deep in the opening stanza and hit MU’s only trey in the second half.

Katin Reinhardt also poured in a season-high 19 points for Marquette, whose bench corps accounted for 53 of its 83 points in the contest.

MU made 13 3-pointers for the fourth time in BIG EAST action since 2005-06. The mark is also its second-highest total in BIG EAST play, trailing the program-record 15 recorded against Cincinnati on Jan. 4, 2009.
